Anestetic [448]

<span>Yes because the AICPA standard for due care does not require CPAs to be infallible. Since the definition of infallible means incapable of making a mistake. Which this is not necessarily true. CPAs are capable of making mistakes and as long as they performed their work with professional due care then they cannot be held accountable for mistakes that may have happened. </span>

Daniel [21]

The court would rule in sue's favor because courts seldom inquire into the adequacy of consideration.

In contracts, <em>consideration </em>just means the <em>exchange of things of value</em>. There has to be an exchange of things of value for there to be an enforceable contract, and in this case a watch was exchanged for money. It is rare for courts to rule on how much consideration is expected because people are generally free to set their own prices and not sell if the price is too low. That is not for a court to decide (in most cases).

Managers are well-advised to consider whether the company can operate more profitable by selling some/all of its plant capacity
trasher [3.6K]
The answer is when global demand for exclusive and private-label footwear is so far under global plant volume that it will be intolerable for most all companies to cost-effectively operate their plants at full volume for many years to come. If the prediction shows that global demand is far under global volume, then it isn't conceivable for everyone to sell everything. In this circumstance the most liquid and solvent company will appear ahead, maybe a company could hold onto volume and ferociously hold onto market share.
